Cheaper than Dirt has, for no particular stated reason, halted online sales of guns. The company will maintain its brick and mortar retail presence in McKinney, Texas, but yesterday posted these messages on their Facebook page.
“Cheaper Than Dirt! is suspending online sales of firearms effective immediately. We are reviewing our policy internally, and will continue to be the leader in the outdoor industry with our full line of gear and accessories.”
Which then got about 12,000 angry comments telling them what they can put where and how far up it should go, and so on. So they regrouped, revising their statement to say this.
“Cheaper Than Dirt! has temporarily suspended online sales of firearms.
“As a long time supporter of the Second Amendment, Cheaper Than Dirt! will continue to promote the safe and responsible use of firearms by law abiding customers. During this temporary suspension, we will review our policies and promotions.”
Their website reflects these statements, too. It’s not like they can say their Facebook page got hacked.
So after another 5,000-plus text-based middle fingers, it’s safe to say that Cheaper than Dirt’s unexpected announcements will lead to some loss of business.
